A beautiful tribute with a massive catch. To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the overall NieR franchise, along with the recent announcement of a NieR: Automata sequel, NZXT has unveiled a themed version of their popular H5 Flow chassis. (For context, Automata itself is only celebrating its 9th year). However, before you start planning your next PC build, there is a reality check that most tech media outlets are failing to mention.
Currently, news sites are aggressively echoing each other about this new release, but a closer look at the source points to a potential regional-exclusive. The announcement originated exclusively from the NZXT Japan Xtwitter account. NZXT Global has merely shared the post, heavily implying this will be a Japan-exclusive drop (国内発売) rather than a worldwide release.
Brand New Artwork, but Basic Customization
For those who are determined to import one, the case itself is the standard, airflow-focused NZXT H5 Flow. While it carries the premium price tag typically associated with NZXT’s custom “CRFT” lineup, the physical customization is surprisingly basic.
- The Decals: The tempered glass side panel features a striking decal of Kainé, while the solid back panel showcases 2B. Both designs utilize brand new, official artwork.
- No Custom Molds: Unlike previous CRFT cases that featured custom physical molds, unique magnetic pucks, or heavy structural alterations, the NieR 15th Anniversary edition relies entirely on these simple panel decals.
- Production Run: NZXT Japan has not disclosed if this is a strictly limited production run or a standard retail item in their region, adding to the confusion surrounding the launch.
Editor’s Note: It is undeniably a gorgeous case for fans of Yoko Taro’s universe. However, paying premium CRFT prices for what is essentially a decal job on a standard H5 Flow might be a tough pill to swallow. Adding international shipping and import fees will only make that price tag sting more.
We will keep an eye out for any official announcements regarding a global release, but for now, NieR fans outside of Japan should temper their expectations.

Literally 20 dollars worth of dtf. So lazy
Justin C***u for real. and its for an anniversary release ♂️
Tbh I would just want to buy the back panel.
What a scam they literally slapped an image and called it a day
FYI.. I have the H5 Flow and that front section.. needs some bolt hole adjustments for two 140mm fans .. top needs adjusted upward screw shaft by 1/8″ and bottom too. With those minor adjustments, can fit two NZXT F140’s and one F120 in a 2-1-2 configuration .. also, the bottom section 140mm screw holes do not align to center NZXT’s F140 fan.. you either need to not screw in bottom two screws or live with fan not aligning in the circle space designed for it. Other than that, overall a good case
